| dc.description.abstract | In this investigation, the Taguchi method was employed to optimize a mix based on four natural by-products for rammed earth construction. Two separate studies were conducted to enhance the dry density and the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS). The four materials were assessed across four different levels, with moisture content also factored in as a parameter within a statistical analysis of 16 combinations. The Taguchi method predicted the combinations in which the Particle Size Distribution optimized the dry density and UCS as well as their dry density and UCS values. From the results, Moisture Content was the parameter with the highest influence on the optimization as well as the dry density and the UCS. It was observed that there was a direct relationship between the bulk density of the different granulometric fractions and their influence on the mix's dry density. The fines were the material constituents that showed the highest influence on the mix UCS. When using the Taguchi method in RE building, the factor that should be maximized should is the mechanical strength. | en |
